The Holy Virgin kisses the face of Jesus before it is wrapped in the winding-sheet

39 He was accompanied
by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought
a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.

40 Taking Jesus' body, the two of
them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance
with Jewish burial customs.

41 At the place where Jesus was
crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had
ever been laid. 42 Because it was the
Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.John 19:39-42
